Construction
Management
refers either to the study and practice of the managerial and
technological aspects of the construction industry (including
construction, construction science, construction management, and
construction technology), or to a business model where one party to a
construction contract serves as a construction consultant, providing both
design and construction advice.
Agency CM
"Agency" CM is a fee-based service in which the construction manager is
responsible exclusively to the owner and acts in the owner's interests at
every stage of the project. The construction manager offers advice,
uncolored by any conflicting interest, on matters such as:
Optimum use of available funds;
Control of the scope of the work;
Project scheduling;
Optimum use of design and construction firms' skills and talents;
Avoidance of delays, changes and disputes;
Enhancing project design and construction quality;
Optimum flexibility in contracting and procurement.
Comprehensive management of every stage of the project, beginning with
the original concept and project definition, yields the greatest
possible benefit to owners from Construction Management.

Business model
Typically, the construction industry includes three parties: an owner,
a designer (called the architect/engineer), and the builder (called
the contractor). Traditionally, there are two contracts between these
three parties as they work together to plan, design, and construct the
project. The first contract is the owner-designer contract, which
involves planning, design, and possibly, some aspects of construction.
The second contract is the owner-contractor contract, which involves
construction. An indirect, third-party relationship exist between the
designer and the contractor due to these two contracts.
An alternate contract or business model replaces the two traditional
contracts with three contracts: owner-designer, owner-construction
manager, and owner-builder. The construction management company
becomes an additional party engaged in the project to act as an
advisor to all three parties. The construction manager's role is to
provide construction advice to the designer, design advice to the
constructor, and both construction and design services, such as
materials and subcontracts as necessary, to the owner.
According to the American Council for Construction Education (the
academic accrediting body of construction management educational
programs in the U.S.), the academic field of construction management
encompasses a wide range of topics. These range from general
management skills, to management skills specifically related to
construction, to technical knowledge of construction methods and
practices. There are many schools offering Construction Management
programs, including some that offer a Masters degree.
Construction management education comes in a variety of formats:
formal degree programs (two-year associate degree; four-year
baccalaureate degree, graduate degree, etc); on-job-training; and
continuing education / professional development. For information on
degree programs, reference ACCE, the American Council for Construction
Education, or ASC, the Associated Schools of Construction. |
